This has to be someone's idea of a sick joke. But I just got a call from an elderly lady who cannot care for her husband anymore. He is on dialysis 3 times a week, and pretty much is bed ridden. He is currently in hospital recovering from a fall, and his wife is no longer able to care for him, so she looked at putting him in the veterans home.
She about fell over when she was told it would cost him over 14,000 a MONTH to be at the home.
Well that should not surprise us when they run it as a FOR PROFIT institution. Heck back in 2010 they were charging Domiciliary guys nearly 7,500 a month, and that was the cheapest rate they had. Nursing unit guys got charged a LOT more.
THIS is why Michigan is dead last of 52 regions for taking care of its veterans.
